It doesn't happen in many movies, but there's something I like to call the "drop-off point" to describe when a movie turns bad very suddenly. The drop-off point of Hancock occurs at the beginning of the third act, and I can't describe it fully without spoiling the ending, but I will say the movie gets bad precisely when the ghetto superhero Hancock (Will Smith) gets thrown out of a window onto a car. read the full review | |

 | | Incredible Hulk (Widescreen) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | The Incredible Hulk - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/20/2008 8:20 PM | | Reacting to the criticism that 2003's Hulk was too much "Bruce Banner Think" and not enough "Hulk Smash!" director Louis Leterrier crafts a nice compromise between the two. Edward Norton's Banner thinks and worries and tries to keep things under control until The Hulk comes out and starts picking up jeeps, tossing scrap metal at helicopters, and swatting away bullets and tranq syringes like so many gnats. The result doesn't stand up with the epic stories of Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark, but it's a nice way to kill two hours. read the full review | |

McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/1/2008 8:12 PM | | Iron Man is a film that comic book junkies will no doubt love, but it also appeals to those who generally shy away from the superhero genre because it retains a relevance to the world we live in today. War, weapons and terrorism are all hot-button issues surging through the daily news, and Iron Man definitely has a contribution to make to that discussion. read the full review | |

Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |

 | | Superman Returns (Widescreen) new! | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | User Rating: 4 |  | Superman Returns - 2-Disc Special Edition - DVD By: Dan Owen - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/9/2006 7:41 PM | | There's an emotional purity to Superman that no other comic-book property can match (the Jesus Christ allegory isn't an overstatement -- check out the finale), and fans of Superman's legacy will get additional thrills with the numerous in-jokes and references. Above all, Superman Returns swept me up with its performances, effects, engaging story and sense of nostalgia.

 | | Spiderman 3 (Widescreen) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | Spider-Man 3: Special Edition - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/1/2007 10:09 PM | | A lot of the story has a "been there, done that" kind of quality. Peter's guilt over Uncle Ben's murder' Check. Harry and Peter in competition for Mary Jane' Check. A basically good person becoming a villain but redeeming himself in the end' Double check. We've seen a lot of this before, and rather than streamlining one good story, Raimi and his co-writers, Ivan Raimi and Alvin Sargent, shoehorn everything into the plot. They never fully form any new characters or take old ones to new areas. read the full review | |
